It's the first Saturday of November, and AWARE will be out as ever at 
Main and Neil from 2-4 PM.

Why?

David Swanson says it 
<http://warisacrime.org/content/swing-state-pickup-lines>:

> Change comes from broad-based popular movements that impact the entire 
> culture.  This is how we got civil and political rights, how we got 
> workplace rights and environmental protections -- such as they are.  
> Everything worth achieving has been achieved by educating, organizing, 
> inspiring, and pressuring the government, and not by picking the right 
> portion of the government to reelect, cheer for, and withhold all 
> criticism from.
and

> By activism I mean educating, organizing, rallying, marching, 
> lobbying, reporting, editorializing, inspiring, blockading, 
> boycotting, interrupting, mocking, replacing, and nonviolently 
> resisting evil policies in the thousands and thousands of ways 
> available to nonviolent activists.

Carl has made this month's flyer from Swanson's wonderful article - 
Swing State Pickup Lines 
<http://warisacrime.org/content/swing-state-pickup-lines>.   Come 
practice them with us.  And oh yeah, stand up against the wars, while 
you're at it.
